I was about brought to tears when Kate Martin is talking about A'ja. Just so much respect. It goes to show how much some of these more veteran players can build up these young people. When Wilson retires, she's going to reflect back on all the people she's influenced.
Great comment!!! Yes, Kate voicing A’ja’s excellent leadership and just giving her her flowers and praise is definitely a very beautiful moment! This is what the game is about. The vets sharing their experience with the rookies and the rookies appreciating the vets and their words of wisdom and advice and encouragement and guidance. Loved it all!
Aces have 4 superstars but no depth. Kate gives them some depth. Once Chelsea is back, and Jackie is healthy, Matin will have less time but still be so key of the bench.
@@a2knyc You’re spot on. I think she could be really critical off the bench in the post season. Despite the circumstances, it’s really great that she’s getting extended playing time.
A'ja is the best leader for Kate. I'm so glad she is such a team player and helps make Kate a better player ! She will be a valuable part of Kate's career! What an intelligent, beautiful person !
@@jenniferpalmquistify That’s what happens. Nobody is keeping on a mediocre rookie when a better vet is healthy. She will work her way up soon enough, but expecting her to become a permanent starter in her first year is insane. It’ll be nothing personal.
Aja is very matter of fact saying the rest of the league is probably pretty stoked that the Aces are having a rough patch. Remember, their star point guard is hurt. Chelsea Gray is like a combination of Jrue Holiday and Chris Paul. That's a big piece not to have. I think the blessing in disguise is that the back of the rotation is getting a taste of huge minutes. And it's probably good for them now to be seeing the ways teams can cause them trouble instead of it being in the playoffs. They know they've got a fantastic rotation of Wilson, Gray, Plum, Young, Stokes, Clark, and Martin. That rotation can cause problems for anyone. I think they'll be fine
Right. Regardless though Chelsea not being in the court allows the other team players to know what and how they can do better til she is back. No they won’t be able to be her but they can take some tips from her until she’s better. They still did what they had to do. I hope they don’t take this loss too hard
@@michaelkees7303the sparks are going to be very good in a couple years. Cameron Brink is already a defensive powerhouse, and her three point shot is ahead of schedule in terms of how efficient it is. Plus, Rickea Jackson has quickly shown she needs to be a big part of the rotation with her three level scoring and size on the perimeter. They're young, and they have a losing record for a reason. They're going to be very good in a few years, but when the Aces are healthy, they rip basically every team in the league in half.
So funny how no one is comparing her to the other one...or that there are no comments about how veterans hate rookies or anything about race... It's not that Kate's teammates are better; it's that Kate is better in her attitude about how she contributes to the team. She's worked on building relationships with her team, and it happened quickly because it's not tainted with arrogance. And it's showing! So refreshing to see this debunk all the negative comments.
@@rosby I don't know if it's jealousy. I can sense frustration though. I really think it was going to happen with the first NIL athlete, no matter who it was. It's so weird that someone comes in from college is making more money than these professional athletes and has such a large fan base. You have to sense the changing tide for them. I'm trying to give these veteran some grace about that. My current sense is that Wilson is by far the best player in the world. I think Clark is on her way there, but it will take a few years.
@@rosby yeah, sometimes it feels like people are too worried about defending themselves and so it makes it look like literally none of these players are happy for her. Or at least that's how it's being portrayed in the media, which I'm shady about. . .. .
Kate Martin said she wouldn't want to be anywhere else 😄 and she has never been around a leader like that, someone who tells her to keep shooting, in college, Kate Martin had to do everything for Clark, anything to make Clark comfortable, they don't just take the bll and look to score but right now, Wilson is telling her to take the charge
I don't think Kate would continue to call CC her best friend if Kate had to do everything for CC. In fact, Kate was not going to return to Iowa basketball this past season, but CC talked her into it. If Martin had not come back, she wouldn't be playing in the W now. She will be forever grateful to CC for that.
A'ja told Kate she should shoot more. Not take charge. Big difference. Wilson was giving her confidence to do more. And yes, A'ja is a leader like no other. Even though CC had the best stats, Kate was always the leader of Iowa. That's why CC wanted her back - CC didn't want to lose her leadership.
Kate is a complete overall basketball player. High basketball IQ. This young lady plays hard , does it all . Good shooter , plays great defense. Every team could use a kate Martin on her team. Plus she's pretty ❤❤❤😂😂😂
The leadership is the fact that Kate is not distracted during the interview. She is a class act by focusing on the questions, she's dressed. Just another amazing product of women raised right in Iowa,
I just wanna say that we as fans appreciate the time that you spend working hard and doing all this training while having fun with it,because your not just a team but family.No matter if you lose or win we will always support you guys.Its kinda frustrating that we are losing but all I have to say is take your time and take care of your well-being than I'm sure we will get back on track.😁👍🏼❤
Can play 3 different positions!! DEADLY shooter!! Prides herself on Defense. Magic Johnson started his rookie year with Kareem. Like Aja Johnson is to Kate Martin!! I'm hooked on this team . 🔥 🏀
Kate makes the team better as she is just such a solid player either as a starter or "the sixth man." btw, she is making these faces and obviously completely bored with this media b.s.
@@RichardIILionheart Listen, I can almost guarantee as he is ready and holding for the Olympics. Y'all seriously know fuq all about the sheer level of epic level petty encompasses the USA OC. They would NOT have added her if they thought she wouldn't be playing. They won't even take simply bench riders that are healthy
Now Laura......stop. Did you not just hear her say not ONLY is she with the best payer she has ever played with but that she wouldn't want to be anywhere else????? Your feelings are invalid
"Back"? She never lost her friend. They just have different jobs now in different parts of the country. Let Martin do her thing and have her own experiences out of the shadow of Clark. Enjoy the basketball.
She lost me.. I dislike this team so much. So much arrogance and watching Kelsey Plum play is cringe for me.. every thing about her is cringe... for me, it was a direct dig at CC .. she could have said one of the best.. why hurt Caitlin? She drink the kool aid.. And the sad thing is is that they are using her and she doesn't even realize it..look at the other interviews the two people on her sides have given they both hate Caitlin Clark.. Why do you think they chose her to the post game interview in the game against CC they wanted to try to hurt her... And they are blaming her for this loss in a Koi way and Kate played great... listen to what A'ja says... When their super stars come back Kate won't even see the floor all.. I guess only thing I can say is no I don't have to "root" for the aces anymore.. I'm done.
@@Rebound703 look at the 10:43 mark. Kate states that A'ja is the 'best player in the world", and "the best leader I've ever been around.' So technically you are correct; Kate did not exactly say that A'ja is the best player she's ever been around. But since A'ja has been around Kate, the only implication is that Kate believes that A'ja is the best player she's ever been around. So knock it off with the apologist crap: Kate is updating her viewpoint because she is following her trail of money. Kate's current income depends more upon A'ja than it does Caitlin, so Kate is updating her viewpoint to protect that new income.
As Coach Hammond says… Kate plays the right way. Unfortunately, most of the wnba players don’t because it is a league of individualists who never really learned how to play the right way. When a coach who understands about how to play the right way has the roster willing to buy in, the wins come rather quickly. One of the most recent examples of this was the ‘04 pistons. Larry Brown took a roster of no names to an NBA title embarrassing the Kobe/Shaq Lakers 4-1. And Becky Hammond is a product of the Brown/Popovich coaching tree
Amazing how Kate gets all the love and CC all the hate. Strange how that works. Guess Kate is a role player and not the player. I assume CC and Kate has some of the same adjectives that describe their being. The big difference other than on the court is the fans one of them brings to the arena and TV that gets so much hate.
You clearly don't get how sports work. Kate is a perfect example of what makes sports amazing. Nobody even expected her to get drafted, she did and had to fight to make the team, she did. Nobody thought she'd get real playing time, she did and she keeps getting better and better. She is earning everything she gets. No one is crying every time she gets fouled or sending death threats to her teammates any time they have a bad game. Y'all still don't get it, its not Caitlin that ppl hate. Its y'all (HER FANS and the media) that ppl don't like and are sick of. We are all tired of y'all calling everyone jealous, we tired of y'all telling us every 5 seconds telling us that she's the only reason you're watching, how many more ppl are watching becasue of her and how much her nike contract is. We get it. We over it, now lets talk basketball. Let that women get better and eventually become one of the greats without y'all tryna force it. When them players are on that court they dont care about her popularity or her endorsement, they are competitors and she gone have to earn their respect just like everyone else
Did you watch her at Iowa or even now? Kate Martin was never a role player in college. She was pretty good and I’m glad Vegas saw it. Iowa’s entire offense ran through Clark to the detriment of the team. People make a big deal about Clark but a team consists of more than one player and without that squad Iowa goes nowhere. I’m sick of the Caitlin is G-d narrative. It’s media nonsense fueled by bandwagon fans with no real interest in the sport. Clark was no saint at Iowa but the media gave her this apple pie image. It’s ridiculous. Kate earned her spot and I’m glad she’s on a legit team now
@@USSEnterprise-vc9yf Clark's never said anything bad and is respectful towards anyone. It's not Caitlin’s fault that she broke records and now sells out crowds in te WNBA and that the media has put her on a pedestal okay? Clark just plays ball. She's not a media hound like that simpleminded spoiled brat Angel Reese. You dolts need to get off Clark's back, especially these racist black women. She hasn't said sh*t about anyone. I love Clark. A class act.
People clearly like Caitlin, but when you're at the top the haters come out. The media belittling the other women in favor of Caitlin doesn't do her any favors in people pulling against her. Perhaps the biggest reason for the negativity around Caitlin is the race war. Angel vs Caitlin set people off who never watched a minute of basketball. People spew that generational hate those players way without concern. Kate isn't in the crosshairs of that, so it's all love.
A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young and Kelsea Plum, (4 USWNT players) on a team and they're 5 and 4, yet we want to knock CC for losing with a bunch of clueless bobbleheads.
They're also not healthy. And when healthy they blitzed the entire league last year, something Caitlin hasn't done yet against this level of competition. She'll have her time, it's just not now. Furthermore, Cait never officially tried out.
Gray hasn't played a minute, and Jackie's health just contributed to two of those losses. When the season is over the Aces will be towards the top and the Fever towards the bottom. Just like reasonable people expected from the beginning. It's the "Caitlin's going to be the best player ever day one", people that put the target on her back.
Its so bad the jealousy for caitlin that the aces got kate, hoping to shut down the Caitlin fan base, it did not happened in college it won't happen in the wnba, she is good but she is not Caitlin, she is being played by her own team, if there is another reason why you picked her make her a starter,
Right. She just lost me as a fan for that childish talk.. they put her up to it.. guaranteed. She wasn't even a stat leader tonight and they have her doing the interview.. Don't give me wrong she had an amazing stat line but she wasn't the high scorer.
She started because two starters were out. 😂 They picked a good player, just so happens she's Kate Martin. Nobody on the planet is projecting Kate to be better than Caitlin, or as famous.
Kate and Caitlin are the best of friends. Kate, like Caitlin, has learned how to talk to the media. That includes praising her teammates. I’m sure Kate and Caitlin have their disagreements, but don’t read too much into one sentence at a postgame press conference.
Kate will be out of the league in 2-3 years. She just is not good enough. She is just a play toy thing for the Aces this year (I think the team is bored). They will chew Kate up and spit her out at some point.
A lot of good players don't even get the opportunity to play in the W so if Kate gets 2-3 years, good for her. She'll have some great experience to launch her coaching career which is what she wants to do. She could do worse than learning under Hammon.
You know more than Nancy Lieberman? She thinks Kate will be a good WNBA player. Rickea Jackson just gave her props for last night on Twitter too. There's like 12 rookies left from the draft. If you're still around you're good.
Kate showcases qualities of a veteran. She'll be around for a while. Smart, active, communicates, defends, rebounds, and knocks down the 3. She's good.

It’s ridiculous. Kate earned her spot and I’m glad she’s on a legit team now

Clark's never said anything bad and is respectful towards anyone. It's not Caitlin’s fault that she broke records and now sells out crowds in te WNBA and that the media has put her on a pedestal okay? Clark just plays ball. She's not a media hound like that simpleminded spoiled brat Angel Reese. You dolts need to get off Clark's back, especially these racist black women. She hasn't said sh*t about anyone. I love Clark. A class act.
People clearly like Caitlin, but when you're at the top the haters come out. The media belittling the other women in favor of Caitlin doesn't do her any favors in people pulling against her. Perhaps the biggest reason for the negativity around Caitlin is the race war. Angel vs Caitlin set people off who never watched a minute of basketball. People spew that generational hate those players way without concern. Kate isn't in the crosshairs of that, so it's all love.
A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young and Kelsea Plum, (4 USWNT players) on a team and they're 5 and 4, yet we want to knock CC for losing with a bunch of clueless bobbleheads.
They're also not healthy. And when healthy they blitzed the entire league last year, something Caitlin hasn't done yet against this level of competition. She'll have her time, it's just not now.
Furthermore, Cait never officially tried out.
Gray hasn't played a minute, and Jackie's health just contributed to two of those losses. When the season is over the Aces will be towards the top and the Fever towards the bottom. Just like reasonable people expected from the beginning. It's the "Caitlin's going to be the best player ever day one", people that put the target on her back.
There is A Reason why they pick Kate to use her as a pawn,
Them losing to the sparks is sad 😂😂😂 like cmon be serious
Agreed.
showing up at press conference in your bra. great basketball player but nobody gonna accuse you of class
Kate sure doesn't look happen there!
Wow, Kate Martin, how can you say that 😮😮😮😮
Idk if it’s just me but at 9:45, she kinda sound like Caitlin 😅😅
It is just you. It's a symptom of the fan cult you are a part of...
This post interview sucks to many playing not serious
Why is Aja doing a public press conference in her bra?
Yep, and I'm here for it! 😍😍
❤❤❤
They may not know their camer is on
AJA FEMINISIM ITS BEAUTIFUL THAT SEXY SHIRT FOR CONFERENS
uhhhhh
Caitlin Clark fans. Who's better Caitlin or A'ja?
Aja of course and I absolutely a fan of CC as well as of Aja. To me this is like asking who is the better player between LBJ and Luka Doncic.
Its so bad the jealousy for caitlin that the aces got kate, hoping to shut down the Caitlin fan base, it did not happened in college it won't happen in the wnba, she is good but she is not Caitlin, she is being played by her own team, if there is another reason why you picked her make her a starter,
Right. She just lost me as a fan for that childish talk.. they put her up to it.. guaranteed. She wasn't even a stat leader tonight and they have her doing the interview.. Don't give me wrong she had an amazing stat line but she wasn't the high scorer.
@@jenniferpalmquistifythat's her own choice of words lol
Nobody made her say anything, you guys are delusional
I swear you CC fans are here for smart individuals amusement. Majority of you all are really stupid,it’s fun to see😂
@@jenniferpalmquistify can tell you don't know basketball. that's not the only stat that defines a great player. each player has a role. sigh
She started because two starters were out. 😂 They picked a good player, just so happens she's Kate Martin. Nobody on the planet is projecting Kate to be better than Caitlin, or as famous.
Sounds like Kate took some shots at CC 😂
Kate and Caitlin are the best of friends. Kate, like Caitlin, has learned how to talk to the media. That includes praising her teammates. I’m sure Kate and Caitlin have their disagreements, but don’t read too much into one sentence at a postgame press conference.
They look like doom and gloom. The whole game couldn’t have been negative.
Yea and thats Caitlin Clark best friend and team mate and aisa Wilson is a hater of Caitlin Clark
@@mezzbThey are just really stupid, that’s all.
A'ja does not hate Caitlin. She's been a great teammate, mentor, friend to Kate. I'm happy Kate went to her team.
Why is Wilson barely clothed?
Because she's A'ja "freakin" Wilson
@@finisher3x FIne - not a good look for the WNBA.
It’s after game 😂 She’s probably in the middle of changing.
What were you expecting? Class?
@@varj7 class? How does Aja of all people not have class? People just say stuff to say stuff.
GET KATE OFF THAT TEAM WOW SHE WILL NOT GROW THERE
Nah she doing good on this team
She is keeping pretty rough company.
Kate looks like she’s in prison
You kidding? They love her there
🙄
Kate will be out of the league in 2-3 years. She just is not good enough. She is just a play toy thing for the Aces this year (I think the team is bored). They will chew Kate up and spit her out at some point.
A lot of good players don't even get the opportunity to play in the W so if Kate gets 2-3 years, good for her. She'll have some great experience to launch her coaching career which is what she wants to do. She could do worse than learning under Hammon.

You know more than Nancy Lieberman? She thinks Kate will be a good WNBA player. Rickea Jackson just gave her props for last night on Twitter too. There's like 12 rookies left from the draft. If you're still around you're good.
Kate showcases qualities of a veteran. She'll be around for a while. Smart, active, communicates, defends, rebounds, and knocks down the 3. She's good.
@@SirButtah A broadcaster called her a swiss army knife a couple weeks ago. I think that's a very accurate description. She can do everything.
DAMN DAMN DAMN A'JA!! 😍😍
